ethiopia coffee
by forth coffee roasters · edinburgh, uk
you'll taste lemon before earthy. this is queensferry blend, an ethiopia from forth coffee roasters.
it leads with a bright lemon acidity and is grounded by earthy undertones, giving the cup a balance of sharpness and depth.
the coffee comes from yirgacheffe in ethiopia, a high-altitude region known for producing distinctly flavored beans, though specific processing details have not been provided for this blend.
a filter method like a v60 or chemex tends to highlight the lemon brightness, while a cafetiere or french press will emphasize the earthier, fuller side of the cup.
if you're tracking down a roaster that operates outside the usual city-centre circuit, harvest road in newbridge puts you somewhere genuinely off the tourist map. forth coffee roasters runs out of a flexspace unit on the industrial edge of edinburgh, which means the focus stays on the coffee itself rather than on foot traffic or passing trade. you won't find a destination café experience here in the conventional sense, but that's the point. this is where the roasting happens, where the sourcing decisions get made, and where the product actually comes from before it lands in your cup anywhere else in the city. if you're buying beans to brew at home, or you want to go straight to the source, the address on harvest road is worth putting in your phone before the weekend.
